Comments on: Yoropen – Hello Pen, Meet Innovation http://blog.litcentral.com/2008/05/22/yoropen-hello-pen-meet-innovation/ Technology and writing and everything in between.

The lack of information makes it impossible to figure out what the pen does and does not do, what materials each is made of, and if it's disposable or refillable. Even more annoying is every link opens a new window. After the third new window I moved on. Some of the sites that sell the pen, give slightly more information; but little that is usable. Many even contradict each other. I am continually amazed at how poorly most on-line sales sites are built. I was considering getting a couple of the less expensive pens to try out. However, further research shows them to be a $12 (yes you can find them for less at dealers whose reputations are unknown) disposable pen (or pencil). I think not. If they are not disposable, then the company needs to get it's dealers in line. The fact that some sites say they are, and some say they are not means the company does not have it's act together. Another good idea that no doubt will be killed by management stupidity. Even sadder is that it might even be due to laziness. A company expecting it's dealers to do what the company should be doing is sad. Sadly the website of Yoropen is a joke.

Great pen. Also totally loving where this blog is going. I'm a writer and certified geek. I frequent tech sites and constantly see writers asking the question, "How does this gadget apply to me?", especially when it comes to computers like your tablet articles. So keep it up, this is great! I have it and I love it! Great pen.
